There's no camera in any of the Wingdings. :-(
I want to use a camera symbol to plot photo locations onto a geological map. I have the coordinates and azimuth at which the photos were taken, but right now I just have lame hand icons all over the map pointing.
There must be an easy way to create a font, I think I've done it before back in the mid 90's, but have since gone senile.
Any help?

Did you search for camera fonts? I did and found this.
//www.fontspace.com/category/camera
Some others, maybe not what you're looking for though:

Thanks, Karen, one was close, but at an angle.
I think I made a north arrow font of my own about 14 years ago, so there is (was) an easy way to do it, but I'm not finding it now. :-/ I just need a simple top-down icon to plunk all over a map.

Heh, looks like XP has a hidden program...
Start -> Run -> eudcedit
voila, I think!

| Why do you need a font? Can't you just use a .gif file? Or something like that? |

Not just XP, vista has it too. |

Or even better a photoshop shape or brush? |

The mapping program I use to plot stuff onto maps chooses symbols from fonts. I have a zillion geological symbols, but a camera isn't one of them. :-/

If you search under "Dingbats" these guys have tons of symbol fonts. This one is all cameras. Hope it helps!

Great find!
slip, this would be a good one to use. I'm sure someone would appreciate the symbols.

One advantage of fonts (over graphics) is that they are usually completely completely scalable without losing resolution/detail, and it's easy to change the color.
I have access to a font-creation program -- you can start with a black-and-white (no grays) TIFF file and create a font character out of it, then save the font as either TrueType or PostScript ... |
